DLC, Hosting games question.

[[Q]uik]

So - from the mini-game we will get the platypus portrait - as well as the flag pack.
Now my question is - Because I play with my best friend, and usually he's the one to host. Now I assume he won't get it if he hosts.
Now - if I host the game, he joins - we then saves the game - and then he hosts the game from my save-file. Will that work? Or will he just be unable to reach the save file because he doesn't have the right DLC?

Probably the latter. The host must have the DLCs which will be used, I assume this applies even to previously hosted games.

I assumed as much, That's a shame. Guess my platypus and flag pack is never getting used in multilpayer ^^

I'm pretty sure devs stated that avatars and emblems are client-side.

Portraits and flag symbol DLCs will work even if he is hosting the game
Edit: and if you pick a portrait from a DLC only you own all other players will be able to see your portrait. Same with flag symbols
